For example, the firstheat dissipating fins 100/100' and the secondheat dissipating fins 200/200' can be formed to a block by a compressing technology to be theheat dissipating module 10 of the invention. - As mentioned above, each first
heat dissipating fin 100/100' has afirst body 110 and a plurality of first heat dissipatinggroove assemblies 120, the first heat dissipatinggroove assemblies 120 area arranged in thefirst body 110 along a the first direction D1. In addition, each first heat dissipatinggroove assembly 120 has a plurality of first heat dissipatinggroove units 122, the first heat dissipatinggroove units 122 are arranged in thefirst body 110 along a the second direction D2. Theheat dissipating module 10 of the embodiment is, for example, fabricated on the heat source H along the first direction D1 to heat dissipate for the heat source H. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 are, for example, vertical with each other, and the fabricating direction D is vertical to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 respectively. Similarly, each secondheat dissipating fin 200/200' has asecond body 210 and a plurality of second heat dissipatinggroove assemblies 220 arranged in thesecond body 210 along the first direction D1, each second heat dissipatinggroove assembly 220 has a plurality of second heat dissipatinggroove units 222 arranged in thesecond body 210 along the second direction D2. - In one embodiment which is not an embodiment of the present invention, wherein a projection area of one first heat dissipating
groove assembly 120 of the firstheat dissipating fin 100/100' onto the heat source is H overlapped with a projection area of another first heat dissipatinggroove assembly 120 of the firstheat dissipating fin 100/100' onto the heat source H, a projection area of one second heat dissipatinggroove assembly 220 of the secondheat dissipating fin 200/200' onto the heat source H is overlapped with a projection area of another second heat dissipatinggroove assembly 220 of the secondheat dissipating fin 200/200' onto the heat source H. A overlapping area between the first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122 and the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222 is smaller than 30% area of the first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122 or 30% area of the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222. The fabricating direction D is not vertical to a top surface of the heat source H, and is parallel to the top surface of the heat source H. - The first heat dissipating
groove assemblies 120 and the second heat dissipatinggroove assemblies 220 are corresponding with each other and configured in the firstheat dissipating fins 100/100' and the secondheat dissipating fins 200/200' respectively. The distance between each first heat dissipatinggroove assembly 120 and the heat source H is substantially equal to the distance between the corresponding second heat dissipatinggroove assembly 220 and the heat source H, such as the first heat dissipatinggroove assemblies 120 can be communicated to the corresponding second heat dissipatinggroove assemblies 220. Furthermore, the firstheat dissipating fins 100/100' and the secondheat dissipating fins 200/200' can be, for example, formed to a block by a compressing technology. The heat dissipating groove units of the firstheat dissipating fins 100/100' and the secondheat dissipating fins 200/200' are interlaced with each other to allow the heat dissipating groove units to configure a series connection form or a parallel connection form, and a working fluid F is restricted within a channel configured by the communication of the heat dissipating groove units. About the detail design of the firstheat dissipating fins 100/100' and the secondheat dissipating fins 200/200' , the embodiment will describe as following. - In the
heat dissipating module 10 of the embodiment, each firstheat dissipating fin 100/100' and each secondheat dissipating fin 200/200' have a inlet guiding groove I1 and a outlet guiding groove O1 respectively. When the firstheat dissipating fins 100/100' and the secondheat dissipating fins 200/200' are combined with each other, the inlet guiding grooves I1 of the firstheat dissipating fins 100/100' and the secondheat dissipating fins 200/200' are form to be ainlet channel 300, and the outlet guiding grooves O1 of the firstheat dissipating fins 100/100' and the secondheat dissipating fins 200/200' are form to be aoutlet channel 400. Besides, theheat dissipating module 10 further comprises a inlet joint 500 and a outlet joint 600, and thefirst body 110 of partial of the first heat dissipating fins 100' and thesecond body 210 of partial of the second heat dissipating fins 200' have a inlet concave 12 and a outlet concave 02. - Similarly, when the first
heat dissipating fins 100/100' and the secondheat dissipating fins 200/200' are combined with each other, the inlet concaves 12 are formed to be a inlet connecting space S1, the outlet concaves 02 are formed to be a outlet connecting space S2. One side of the inlet connecting space S1 is communicated to the inlet joint 500, and another side of the inlet connecting space S1 is communicated to theinlet channel 300. One side of the outlet connecting space S2 is communicated to the outlet joint 600, and another side of the outlet connecting space S2 is communicated to theoutlet channel 400. Each inlet concave 12 is, for example, communicated with the corresponding inlet guiding groove I1, and each outlet concave 02 is, for example, communicated with the corresponding outlet guiding groove O1. Therefore, when the working fluid F flows into the inlet joint 500, the working fluid F can transmit to theinlet channel 300 through the inlet connecting space S1 smoothly, and then the working fluid F flows through theoutlet channel 400 and the outlet connecting space S2. Finally, the working fluid F flows out of theheat dissipating module 10 from the outlet joint 600. - Each first heat dissipating
groove assembly 120 and each second heat dissipatinggroove assembly 220 have two end portions respectively, theinlet channel 300 and theoutlet channel 400 are adapted to communicate with two of these end portions respectively. As shown inFig. 2A andFig. 3 , the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222 disposed in one end portion of the second heat dissipatinggroove assembly 220 of the secondheat dissipating fin 200/200' is communicated with the inlet guiding groove I1. Similarly, the first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122 disposed in one end portion of the first heat dissipatinggroove assembly 120 of the firstheat dissipating fin 100/100' is communicated with the outlet guiding groove O1 by the same design. - Furthermore, in the embodiment, a communicating
structure 700/700' is configured in the firstheat dissipating fin 100/100' or the secondheat dissipating fin 200/200' to make two adjacent heat dissipating groove assemblies arranged along the first direction D1 communicate with each other, allowing the working fluid F to flow into theheat dissipating module 10 from the inlet joint 500, and flow out of theheat dissipating module 10 from the outlet joint 600 smoothly. That is to say, when the communicatingstructure 700 is configured in the firstheat dissipating fins 100/100' , two adjacent second heat dissipatinggroove assemblies 220 of the secondheat dissipating fin 200/200' combined with the firstheat dissipating fin 100/100' are communicated with each other by the assistance of the communicatingstructure 700. Similarly, when the communicating structure 700' is configured in the secondheat dissipating fins 200/200' , two adjacent first heat dissipatinggroove assemblies 120 of the firstheat dissipating fin 100/100' combined with the secondheat dissipating fin 200/200' are communicated with each other by the assistance of the communicating structure 700'. - Specially, when the first
heat dissipating fins 100/100' and the secondheat dissipating fins 200/200' are combined with each other, one end 122E1 of the first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122 of each first heat dissipating fin 100' and one end 222E1 of the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222 of the second heat dissipating fin 200' adjacent to the first heat dissipating fin 100' are overlapped, and another end 122E2 of the first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122 and one end 222' E1 of another second heat dissipating groove unit 222'(222) are overlapped(as shown inFig. 2B andFig. 3 ). The second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222 and the second heat dissipating groove unit 222'(222) overlapped with the first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122 are adjacent and arranged in thesecond body 210 along the second direction D2. That is to say, although the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222 and the second heat dissipating groove unit 222'(222) of the secondheat dissipating fin 200/200' are not communicated, but the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222 and the second heat dissipating groove unit 222'(222) adjacent to the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222 can be communicated by the assistance of one first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122 when the firstheat dissipating fins 100/100' and the secondheat dissipating fins 200/200' are combined, wherein the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222 and the second heat dissipating groove unit 222'(222) are arranged along the second direction D2. The above description takes an example of the communication of a plurality of second heat dissipatinggroove units 222 by the assistance of one first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122. Similarly, a plurality of first heat dissipatinggroove units 122 also can be communicated by the assistance of one second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222. - As such, two adjacent heat dissipating groove units of one heat dissipating fin can be communicated by the assistance of one heat dissipating groove unit of another heat dissipating fin, and two adjacent heat dissipating groove assemblies of one heat dissipating fin also can be communicated by the assistance of the communicating structure of another heat dissipating fin. The embodiment allows the heat dissipating groove units to communicate with each other along the first direction D1 or the second direction D2 when the first
heat dissipating fins 100/100' and the secondheat dissipating fins 200/200' are combined. That is to say, theinlet channel 300, the first heat dissipatinggroove assemblies 120 and the second heat dissipatinggroove assemblies 220 multi-layered within theheat dissipating module 10, and theoutlet channel 400 can form a heat dissipating channel C, allowing heat to dissipate from the heat source H. Then, the working fluid F can flow into theheat dissipating module 10 from the inlet joint 500, and flow out of theheat dissipating module 10 from the outlet joint 600. - Worth mentioning is that the
inlet channel 300 is, for example, communicated with one end portion of the first heat dissipatinggroove assembly 120 or the second heat dissipatinggroove assembly 220 close to the heat source H. Theoutlet channel 400 is, for example, communicated with one end portion of the first heat dissipatinggroove assembly 120 or the second heat dissipatinggroove assembly 220 away from the heat source H. In detail, in order to make theheat dissipating module 10 have a preferred heat dissipating efficiency, theinlet channel 300 is communicated with the heat dissipating groove assembly closed to the bottom of theheat dissipating module 10 in the embodiment. Therefore, heat of the bottom of theheat dissipating module 10 transferred from the heat source H can be removed effectively and directly by the working fluid F having the lower temperature, and the working fluid F with the heat be transmitted to the top of theheat dissipating module 10 through the communicated heat dissipating groove assemblies. The heat dissipation can be performed by the assistance of a nature convection or a forcing convection generated by a fan disposed on the top of theheat dissipating module 10. Therefore, when the heat generated from the heat source H be transmitted to the top of theheat dissipating module 10 with the working fluid F, the heat generated from the heat source H can be removed by the assistance of the nature convection, the forcing convection, or other suitable methods, allowing to decrease the temperature of the working fluid F. Naturally, the working fluid F also can flow out of theheat dissipating module 10 from the outlet joint 600, and process suitable heat removing assignments between theheat dissipating module 10 and the environment, then flow into theheat dissipating module 10 again from theinlet joint 500. - Besides, in the embodiment, one end portion of the first heat dissipating
groove unit 122 and one end portion of the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222 are, for example, overlapped partially. The following will be described withFig. 2B . When one end portion of the first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122 and one end portion of the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222 are overlapped partially and the working fluid F flows into the first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122, the working fluid F be separated by the inner wall of the first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122 and then flows into two second heat dissipatinggroove units 222 overlapped with the first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122 partially. Similarly, when the working fluid F flows into the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222, the working fluid F also be separated by the inner wall of the second heat dissipating groove unit and then flows into two first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122 overlapped with the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222 partially. Naturally, when the working fluid F be separated and flows into the two second heat dissipatinggroove units 222, the working fluid F come across the inner wall thereof and be separated again. The separated working fluid F will be conflux to the first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122 overlapped partially with the two second heat dissipatinggroove units 222. Similarly, when the working fluid F be separated and flows into the two first heat dissipatinggroove units 122, the working fluid F come across the inner wall thereof and be separated again. The separated working fluid F will be conflux to the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222 overlapped partially with the two first heat dissipatinggroove units 122. That is to say, when the working fluid F flows pass each heat dissipating groove unit, the working fluid F will be separated or conflux continuously. In a process of the working fluid F flowing through a plurality of first heat dissipatinggroove assemblies 120 and second heat dissipatinggroove assemblies 220 multi-layered in theheat dissipating module 10, the working fluid F have larger contacting area with eachfirst body 110 and eachsecond body 210. Then, a heat exchange among the heat dissipating groove units, thefirst body 110, and thesecond body 210 can be performed, allowing to remove the heat transmitted from the heat source H to the heat dissipating fins. - Furthermore, in the
heat dissipating module 10 of the embodiment, the working fluid F collides with the inner wall of the end portion of each heat dissipating groove unit to generate a turbulence flow when the working fluid F flow through the heat dissipating groove units interlaced with each other, and then the working fluid F is separated into the heat dissipating groove units adjacent to the foregoing heat dissipating groove unit. The above design can make the temperature of the working fluid F within one region is uniform, allowing to heat exchange stably. - In addition, the
heat dissipating module 10 of the embodiment further comprises at least two thirdheat dissipating fins 800, each thirdheat dissipating fin 800 just is a board having no holes or crack. Each thirdheat dissipating fin 800 is disposed in two sides of the combination of the firstheat dissipating fins 100 and the secondheat dissipating fins 200 to make theheat dissipating module 10 have a closed-type body, allowing to have a more complete design of the heat dissipating channel C. -

The main difference between theheat dissipating module 20 and theheat dissipating module 10 is that each heat dissipating groove unit of theheat dissipating module 10 in above embodiment is strip-shape structure, and each heat dissipating groove unit of theheat dissipating module 20 in this embodiment is a diamond structure. - In the embodiment of the heat dissipating groove unit being a diamond structure, the first heat dissipating
groove units 122 of each first heat dissipating groove assembly 120(a diamond structure arrange extended along the second direction D2 is, for example, shown inFig. 7A ) and the first heal dissipatinggroove units 122" (122) of another first heat dissipatinggroove assembly 120" (120) adjacent to the foregoing first heat dissipatinggroove assembly 120 are interlaced respectively. The second heat dissipatinggroove units 222 of the second heat dissipatinggroove assembly 220 and the second heat dissipatinggroove units 222" (222) of another second heat dissipatinggroove assembly 220" are interlaced respectively. Besides, the communicating structure of this embodiment is integrated with each heat dissipating groove unit. In detail, due to the heat dissipating groove unit is a diamond structure in the embodiment and two presuppositions (described as following), the two adjacent second heat dissipating groove units (the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222 and the second heat dissipating groove unit 222' (222)) arranged along the second direction D2 are communicated with each other by the assistance of the first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122. Similarly, the two adjacent second heat dissipating groove units(the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222"(222) and the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222"'(222)) arranged along the first direction D1 are communicated with each other by the assistance of each first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122. That is to say, the two adjacent second heat dissipating assemblies can be communicated by the assistance of each first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122. In other word, when the firstheat dissipating fin 100 and the secondheat dissipating fin 200 as shown inFig. 7A are combined, the communicating structure integrated with each heat dissipating groove unit of one of the firstheat dissipating fin 100 and the secondheat dissipating fin 200 can assist the communication among the heat dissipating groove units of the other of the firstheat dissipating fin 100 and the secondheat dissipating fin 200, wherein the above design is shown inFig. 7B . Herein, one of the above presuppositions is: the heat dissipating groove units of one heat dissipating groove assembly are interlaced with the heat dissipating groove units of another heat dissipating groove assembly adjacent to the foregoing heat dissipating groove assembly. The other of the above presuppositions is: one end portion of the first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122 is overlapped partially with one end portion of the second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222. - Similar to the above embodiment, when the working fluid F flows pass the end portion of the heat dissipating groove units interlaced with each other, the working fluid F will collide with the inner wall of the end portion of each heat dissipating groove unit, and generates a turbulence flow in the embodiment. Then, the working fluid F will be separated into other heat dissipating groove units adjacent to the foregoing heat dissipating groove unit. Worth mentioning is that due to the heat dissipating groove unit is a diamond structure in the embodiment, at least an inclined plane is configure in the inner wall of the heat dissipating groove unit. Therefore, when the working fluid F collide with the inner wall of the end portion of each heat dissipating groove unit, the working fluid F will be separated and flows toward multi-directions. This design is permit to form a turbulence flow with larger degree, and make the temperature of the working fluid F within one region is uniform, allowing to heat exchange stably.
- The above description takes an example of the communication of a plurality of second heat dissipating
groove units 222 by the assistance of one first heat dissipatinggroove unit 122. Naturally, a plurality of first heat dissipatinggroove units 122 also can be communicated with each other by the assistance of one second heat dissipatinggroove unit 222. In addition to the heat dissipating groove unit of the invention can be the strip-shape structure and the diamond structure described like above embodiments, the heat dissipating groove unit of the invention also can be a round-shape structure, a triangular structure or other suitable structures, including but not limited to these shapes. - As described in the embodiments of the invention, the heat dissipating groove units are configured in at least two heat dissipating fins respectively, wherein the heat dissipating groove units of each heat dissipating fin are not communicated with each other. When these heat dissipating fins are combined, the heat dissipating groove unit of one heat dissipating fin can be communicated with another heat dissipating groove unit of the foregoing heat dissipating fin by the assistance of one heat dissipating groove unit of another heat dissipating fin. Therefore, these heat dissipating groove units configured within the heat dissipating module densely can form a heat dissipating channel C having a preferred heat dissipating efficiency, allowing to heat dissipate for the heat source effectively.
- In addition, through two interlaced heat dissipating groove units disposed in two adjacent heat dissipating fins respectively, various shapes of the heat dissipating groove units, a plurality of the heat dissipating groove units communicated with each other and disposed within heat dissipating module by multi-layers configured method, the invention can increase the contacting area between the working fluid and the heat dissipating module substantially, and make the working fluid with a turbulence flow through the heat dissipating groove units interlaced with each other to have a uniform heat exchange between the heat dissipating module and the working fluid stably.
